papaya cookies has now completed her stretch. typical for papaya, she develops purple/pink pistils. such a beauty. hopefully the weather will stay good enough for her bulk.

Super Silver Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) — Flower Week 7 (Recovery) Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Super Silver Haze Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds Stage: Flower — Week 7 (recovery after localized bud rot) Pots/Medium: 11 L fabric pots — living super soil with Aptus pellets and Plagron support Watering: Hand watering; currently water only (see science below) Lights: F.O.G. Black Series 600W + ThinkGrow ICL-300 (inner canopy) + Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W Control & Monitoring: TrolMaster Hydro-X/Tent-X + WCS substrate sensors Air exchange: Dual 6” filtered exhausts + filtered intake; oscillating fans moving canopy air Current environment (example): day ~29–31 °C, night ~24–26 °C, RH mid 50s–60s, CO₂ ~700 ppm ⸻ Quick recap — seed to the present moment • Germination & early veg: 3/3 germinated via Cannakan; strong, even starts. • Transplant: Into 11 L fabric pots with a super soil base inoculated with Aptus Mycor/Micro mixes and buffered for pH stability. • Veg: Compact, steady growth; conservative feeding with Aptus starter lineup. • Early flower: Fast flower transition, pistils and bud sites stacking quickly. Plagron trio (Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation) + Aptus boosters used to enhance bloom development. • Bud rot event: Localized Botrytis found inside one cola; removed quickly and thoroughly. Loss minimal. Immediate steps taken (see below). • Recovery week (this report): Plants responding strongly — dense colas, heavy frosting, explosive aroma. We moved temporarily to water-only feed to stabilize the root zone and let the soil biology drive nutrition. ⸻ What happened and how we dealt with it 1. Detection: Small dark spot discovered deep inside a dense cola. Because rot often starts inside dense clusters, early detection is key. 2. Immediate action: Removed the affected flowers and any suspicious material. Cut generously around infected tissue to avoid leaving spores. Placed waste in sealed bags and removed from the growroom. 3. Sanitation: Cleaned tools, wiped surfaces, checked fans and filters for dust pockets, and increased canopy airflow. 4. Environment adjustments: Increased air movement across and through the canopy; checked extraction; planned AC installation to lower day temps and stabilize RH. 5. Observation & patience: Kept strict daily inspections for any new spots; let plants recover without additional heavy nutrient pushes. Result: the loss was minimal, the rest of the canopy stayed healthy, and the plants rebounded quickly. Dense, frosty colas and an incredibly strong smell are the signs they are back on track. ⸻ Why “water only” right now — the science, explained simply We moved to water-only feeds for a short, strategic period. That decision is conservative and backed by three practical goals: 1. Reduce salt and nutrient spikes: After stress and after tissue removal, roots can be sensitive. Water-only flushes prevent sudden EC spikes that can further stress roots. Salt buildup can inhibit water uptake (osmotic stress); clean water restores osmotic balance. 2. Let the soil biology work: You’re growing in a living super soil with Aptus pellets and biological inoculants. Microbes mineralize nutrients slowly and steadily. When plants are stressed, microbial mineralization becomes more important than high-concentration liquid feeds. Water-only gives beneficial microbes a stable environment to supply what the plant needs. 3. Avoid overstimulating lush growth: At late flower, you want carbohydrate partitioning to favor flower filling and resin production, not new vegetative pushes. Limiting NPK pulses prevents a late vegetative response and encourages the plant to allocate sugars to trichome and calyx growth. Practical note: “Water only” does not mean nutrient-starvation. Your living soil still releases NPK and trace elements. Monitor substrate EC (WCS) and plant appearance; if deficiency signs persist for more than a week, reintroduce a light, balanced feed. ⸻ The gear doing the heavy lifting — why the ICL-300 inner canopy lights matter • ThinkGrow ICL-300 (inner canopy lights): These deliver targeted, diffuse light deeper into the canopy. For dense sativas or hybrids that set flowers lower on the plant, inner-canopy LEDs reduce shading and encourage even bud set on lower nodes. They also reduce the need to strip leaves to reach light—so you can preserve biology and microclimate. • F.O.G. Black Series & Lumatek: Provide high PPFD to the top canopy for strong photosynthesis and sugar production. The combination of powerful top light + targeted inner lights = even canopy carbon distribution and more uniformly fat colas. • TrolMaster + WCS: Real-time data on substrate moisture and EC lets you water by need (you’re already using ~19–25% dryness triggers), which prevents both saturation pockets that encourage rot and drought that stresses plants. • Airflow & filtration: Dual exhausts and oscillating fans keep air moving; carbon filters keep air clean. This is essential to lower local humidity around flowers and prevent new rot pockets. All gear together creates a system: light for sugar, airflow for dryness, monitoring for precision, and soil biology for nutrition. ⸻ Observations this week • Colas: Thickening, dense, frosty. Trichome production visible even with the naked eye. • Aroma: Extremely potent — strong typical Super Silver Haze profile developing (citrus/citrus-haze + spicy/earthy back-notes), likely driven by terpene expression and warm room temps. • Leaves: Minor spotting in places earlier; after CalMag adjustments and water-only period, new growth is healthy and vibrant. • Root zone: Very active — roots visible through fabric, good white root color where checked. ⸻ Risks to watch and mitigation steps (practical, daily checklist) • Risk: Secondary rot pockets — Mitigation: daily inspection, move a small headlamp into canopy to view internals, keep oscillating fans moving air between bud layers. • Risk: High night humidity with cooler temps — Mitigation: install AC / run dehumidifier at night, maintain extraction during lights-off. • Risk: Support failure from heavy colas — Mitigation: pre-position soft ties / netting to support colas now before they get heavy. • Risk: Late-flower nutrient imbalance — Mitigation: watch leaf tips/edges for burn or deficiency. If signs appear, use small, dilute corrective feeds rather than heavy dosages. ⸻ What to expect in the next 1–3 weeks • Short term (next 7 days): Continued fattening of calyxes, sustained trichome increase, aroma intensifies. Plants will drink more as flowers bulk. Keep water-only until the canopy is stable and substrate EC is within your target range. • Mid term (weeks 2–3 from now): Major bulk phase — colas will gain weight and density. Trichomes will move from clear → cloudy (start of potency peak). Expect more resin and heavier terpene bouquet. • Near harvest planning: Start planning drying/curing space and harvest timeline once trichome clouding reaches your target (we’ll plan this together when the time approaches). Also plan to stagger harvests if colas mature at different rates. ⸻ Short educational sidebar — why trichomes explode now (brief) Late flower is all about sugar allocation and secondary metabolism. With high light, steady CO₂, and stable root nutrition, plants convert energy into: • Calyx growth (mass) — the physical body of the bud • Trichome production (resin glands) — metabolically expensive, but essential for protection and reproduction; trichomes store terpenes and cannabinoids which act as plant defense and pollinator signals in nature The combination of your lighting, living soil biology, and current conservative feeding strategy drives both mass and resin production. ⸻ Final practical tips for the diary entry • Post a short video walk-through of the canopy with commentary pointing to the saved areas vs. new growth — that tells the recovery story visually. • Photograph a closeup of a supported, heavy cola to show density and resin. • Note the date of the rot removal and actions taken in the GrowDiaries log — that makes the journal useful for other growers and for troubleshooting later runs. • Keep a small “harvest box” ready: sanitized scissors, nets, gloves, labeled trays — you’ll want them when the time comes. ⸻ Gratitude and perspective we acted fast, used sound horticultural judgment, and let biology and environment do their work. That combination saved the run. Super Silver Haze is responding like a champion — dense, frosty, and unapologetically aromatic.

I keep increasing the light and she seems to enjoy it, growing new bud sides and leaves everyday. Defoliation continues. I can’t go below 25-26 Celcius due to increased light though. She has also been moved to back middle.

💥💥💥💥💥 C'est le feu 🔥🔥🔥 #trolmaster #madamegrow

Changed Monday Friday big defoliation

Flushing going g very well so far.

Apparently you can give your plant nitrogen burn with an organic fish emulsion. Live and you learn LOL

This week was great. This runtz from zamnesia recovered good af. Look how she looked last week she was not so healthy^^. I topped her and gave her an lst. Lets see how she grow this week, turned light down to 20hours and maybe next week i let her flower. Have a nice week and thanks for watching my diary✌️✌️

Ready for harvesting Trichomes are ~ 10-15% amber

📆 Semana 3: Con la EC ya controlada y estable, se termina de ajustar el pH en el coco, afinando la disponibilidad de nutrientes. Las raíces se mantienen blancas y activas, con buena colonización del sustrato y absorción uniforme. Las plantas consolidan el estiramiento, mostrando ya preflores claras y una estructura más definida. El verde lima se va equilibrando hacia un tono más sano, manteniendo buena turgencia y orientación hacia la luz. Se intensifican los primeros aromas y la entrada en floración es ya evidente, con una transición limpia tras la fase de ajuste. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪

Week 6: Flower - Purple Power & Organic Excellence 💜🌸 Currently vibing to: Larry June - Organic (keeping it smooth) 🎵 Week 6 flower is where things start getting REAL. The buds are swelling, the trichomes are stacking, and one of the ladies is putting on a color show that's absolutely stunning! All Three Ladies - Thriving on Organic Fire The feeding regimen is dialed in, and these girls are responding beautifully. Consistent nutrition is paying off with healthy, vigorous flower development across the board. Current Feeding Schedule: Roots Organic Terp Tea Bloom (consistent feedings) Growganica Incredible Bulk (for density and weight) This organic combo is doing EXACTLY what it's supposed to: Supporting robust bud development Enhancing terpene production Building density without harsh synthetic salts Feeding the soil biology that feeds the plants The slow-release nature of organic amendments means the plants are getting steady, consistent nutrition—no spikes, no crashes, just smooth sailing. Lemon Cherry (Right) - The Purple Princess! 💜 SHE'S TURNING PURPLE! And not just a little bit—she's really expressing those anthocyanin colors. This is exactly what we want to see! Why the purple? Genetic expression (she had it in her the whole time) Temperature fluctuations between day/night can enhance purple coloration Stress-free environment allowing her genetics to shine Proper nutrition supporting color development Bag Appeal Status: Already looking FIRE. The contrast between purple buds, green leaves, and frosty white trichomes is going to be absolutely stunning come harvest. This is the kind of bud that makes people stop scrolling on Instagram. 📸 The visual quality on this one is going to be exceptional—she's going to photograph like a dream and look premium in the jar. Apple Fritter & Lemon Cherry (Left) - Green Giants While they might not be showing the purple genetics, these two are producing beautiful, classic green flowers with excellent structure and trichome coverage. Current Status: Dense bud formation Healthy green coloration Responding well to the organic feeding program Trichome production ramping up Not every plant needs to be purple to be premium. These girls are going to deliver quality, potency, and terps regardless of color. The Growganica Incredible Bulk Advantage Adding this to the feeding rotation was a smart move. Week 6 is when bulking really kicks into high gear, and the kelp-based nutrients are supporting: Increased bud density and weight Enhanced resin production Micronutrient availability for optimal flower development Natural plant hormones that promote swelling Combined with the Terp Tea Bloom, we're giving these plants everything they need to maximize their genetic potential. Key Observations Color expression is REAL: Lemon Cherry Right is proving that when you give plants the right environment and nutrition, their genetics can fully express. Purple isn't just pretty—it's a sign she's healthy, happy, and doing her thing. Organic feeding consistency matters: No deficiencies, no toxicities, just steady growth. The microbes in the soil are doing their job, breaking down amendments and delivering nutrients on demand. Week 6 is the sweet spot: This is where flower production really accelerates. Each day brings noticeable changes in bud size and density. Bag appeal is already locked in: Even before harvest, you can tell Lemon Cherry Right is going to be a stunner. Sometimes you just know you've got something special growing. Next Week's Plan Continue current feeding schedule - it's working, don't mess with success Monitor purple progression on Lemon Cherry Right (might get even more vibrant!) Support branches if needed - as buds get heavier, stakes/yo-yos might be necessary Watch trichome development - week 7+ is when they really start stacking Maintain optimal environment - keep temps, humidity, and airflow dialed in Take progress photos - especially of that purple beauty for the 'gram 📸 Larry June voice: "Purple flowers, organic power, smooth cultivation every hour..." 🎶 Week 6 flower: Where genetics meet execution, and the results speak for themselves. Let's keep this organic train rolling! 🔥🌿💜 When she starts turning purple in week 6, you know you're doing something right. Bag appeal: SECURED.

Stacking very nice...

HASSE Barber shop ! Madness or now Reality?!

For now she is getting only water and will be harvest soon.

One with a topping the other one just LST both huge yield!🦖 For the smell its cookie dough,lemon & diesel🍪🍋⛽️ Super sticky buds 🤩

Ladies and gentlemen today is day 42 of veg and we are moving right along, as you can see, we are at 8 tops and everything seems to be going swimmingly. As you guys can see from one of the pictures is a little area. I don't know what happened to it at first.I thought it was rotting.It seems to be getting better if anyone has any clue as to what the why or how that would be greatly appreciated! Other than that, this girl is doing great and she is thriving. Regardless of that little mark, so I think everything will be just fine.. I'd like to thank my friends over at Kannabia seeds for making this grow possible and for being awesome! I hope everyone is doing well and so are there ladies. God bless and happy growing ✌️
